Tools and Manuals for Sub Sims for 100% Realism
 

All Skippers

First off I would like to thank Berry and all other modders out there for thier hard work. My favorite sim back years ago was Silent Service II ages ago. Heck I can't remember what I was running it on. I know I had a version that ran on a Nintindo consol. That was one of my favorites.

Ever since those days I have been seaching for a PTO sub sim. I final found one in SH4. WhatI wanted was a realistic experience, faced with the same problems those WWII Skippers had. I just spent 6 hours reading over this entire thread and have decided that RFB is the one for me.

With that I will download the latest version of this mod. I have downloaded and made the following tools and manuals:

1. SACF or called the Banjo
2. It-Was
3. CapnScurvy's AOB calculator and Merchent Speed Calculator
4. Circular Slide Ruler
5. A Plot Board of my own make, range from center to 5000 yds.

I also downloaded:
1. Manual for Banjo and It-Was
2. Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual
3. Hitman's Simplified Manual Targeting SH4, 100% Realism V2.0

With all that said and done I am looking forward to some emmersed simulation time. I do not call SH4 or any other Simulation such as Pacific Fighters a game out of my deep respect for the fighting men who fought in them.

If there are any other manuals or tools which will further my emersion in this simulation please let me know.

You should be well prepared :roll: , lots of stuff there.

Good Hunting:up:

Well you certainly look dangerous with all that :lol: Only thing I see missing in your list is a "Do not disturb" and "Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again" poster for your room's door.:arrgh!:

No signs need, have attack cats!
 

The computer is in a public area of the house. When my better half was still alive, I just kept the head phones on. I worked the swing shift and did my gaming after work for a few hours.This did not disturb her and if I played duringthe day, I still spent quality time with her. Since she has passed away last August just me, the cats and birds. Sims like this one has help me get over the loss. It does not mean I do not still miss her every day.

I see that SH4 does not give longitude and latitude over or arround the boats position. That has to be deduced from map co-ordinates and patrol areas are defined by StAR. I the original SH, the Nav map gave Long. and Lat. when the curser when over boats position and deducing from patrol charts for SH you had a wide range topatrol in an area.

This will make manual Navigation harder if not imposible with out a fix gotten in the old SH. That part of my realismwill have tobe placed on hold until I get more info.

Would anyone know how to get exact long. and lat. from the Nav map ?

MM ... You can always send an update report ... when the report goes off, your lat and long are listed there.

MudMarine, did not mean to poke fun, Hitman I am sure would say the same. Sorry for your loss. Enjoy the game.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Hope you didn't get upset by my previous joke:oops: as it was obviously well-intentioned:cry:

just send report to home base, all the info will be there in your radio pad.

No problem Hitman, How was you or anyone else to know unless I made the comment about my wife. So noharm doneand no offence taken.

Is the radio report the only way to get a fix?

By the way wish I could sic my attack cats after callers tryin to sell me stuff. I changed over to internet phone service from Ma bell and those pesky critters are back. Service wants more money to block them. Just get into the Sim or readen threads and that phone rings! Cheaper service but ya get them pests with it.

me wontee meeee wonteeee-ee-eeee-eee! where'd u get 'em? me wonteee too!:ping:

:ping:All you hardcore plotters really need is Aaron's Electronic Maneuvering Board....

Expect news on the release version of MOBO sometime during next week...:ping:

Mombo?
 

Jace11, what ya talkin about? I thought Mombo had ta do with computer.

radio fix, for navigation
 

Skippers,

Is the radio the only way to get a navigational Fix of boats location?
